High power density gearing is the new standard for U.S. Navy marine propulsion gearing, and Cincinnati

Gear is leading the way. All of these programs used Cincinnati Gear surface hardened and precision ground marine propulsion gearing: • The American Enterprise crew- boat was built by Halter Marine,

Inc., with a 501 gas turbine drive.

The 3K-SES Navy program involved four 40,000 hp CGCO epicyclic gas turbine drives.

Each LCAC produced by Bell

Aerospace Textron has 8 gas turbine powered gearboxes and 24 couplings and clutches pro- vided by CGCO. 3K-SES LCAC • The PHM/Jetfoil/H.M.S. Speedy (with CODOG drive) made by
